An upsurging fighting between the rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah has left at least fourteen people dead in the Gaza Strip despite the declaration of a new ceasefire. A senior Fattah militant was among those killed during the clashes. Hamas and Fatah had earlier agreed their seventh truce in just over a month to try to end the fighting which claimed at least sixty lives. Ali Magbu reports:
There have been fierce clashes in Gaza city. Three fighters from one family were killed there. In the northern town of Beit Hanoun, witnesses say around thirty Hamas gunmen descended on the local hospital where a gun fight ensued in and around the building. In the latest incident, a senior militant from Fattah J. A. was shot and injured in his home in the town of B. Fatah says he was then shot forty one times in his hospital bed.
An appeals court at the United States has ordered the release from military detention of the only person being held on US soil as an enemy combatant. The court ruled that the man Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri had the constitutional right to challenge his detention in a civilian court. K. reports.
Ali al-Marri was a legal resident of the United States. For the past four years, he’s been held on US soil at a naval prison in South Carolina. Now, a federal appeals court has ruled that the Bush administration was wrong to deny him the right to challenge his detention in civilian court. The judges said that allowing the President to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain civilians in the United States would have disastrous consequences for the constitution and the country.
Republicans in the United States Senate have blocked a vote of no confidence in the Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The Democrats have proposed the vote. Mr. Gonzalez has been under pressure to resign for allegedly concealing the political motivation behind the dismissals of a number of federal prosecutors last year.
Lawyers for the deposed Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra say they'll fight moves to seize his assets. Thailand's military backed government says it's taking one and a half billion dollars worth of assets held by Mr. Thaksin and his wife. The seizure was announced by a committee investigating alleged corruption during Mr. Thaksin's five years in office. The committee was set up after the military ousted him from power last year. Mr. Thaksin built up a personal fortune in business before entering politics.

A lawyer for opposition groups in Ethiopia says a trial that led to a guilty verdict against thirty eight leading opposition figures was a sham and a mockery of justice. They were convicted at a court in Addis Ababa on Monday of offenses including outrage against constitution and encouraging armed rebellion following disputed elections two years ago. Speaking to the BBC, a member of the opposition coalition for Unity and Democracy Party A. Seigey condemned the convictions.
“It is a very tragic day, in fact, for the rule of law and for democracy in Ethiopia. This government, in fact, has no motion of freeing the implication office's actions. It's very indicative. It has no signs of effective advantage of life, although very subtle it has committed. And I would not be surprised, in fact, that it could take this selective action of passing greatly what the extreme they use.”
The Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has strongly criticized President Bush for his recent comments in support of independence for Kosovo, Serbia's majority ethnic Albanian province. Mr. Kostunica said that the US had no right to give away Serbian territory and its people will never forgive Washington if that happened.
An international conference on endangered species has agreed to ban trade in one of the world's most remarkable fish, the shark-liked sawfish. It's been hunted to the edge of extinction because of its amazing snout up to two meters long and its fins which are used for shark fin soup and traditional medicines. The meeting in The Hague heard that the snout sold as curios can fetch at least a thousand dollars each. One delegate from Kenya said local fishermen could retire after catching just one sawfish and selling it.
Friends and colleagues of the BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston who was abducted three months ago have taken part in vigils to demand his release. The BBC's head of News Gathering Finance Worth said many Palestinians had repeatedly pointed out over the last three months that Alan Johnson's reporting provide those in Gaza with the window on their world.
